The US is a fast-growing market for Brand Learning, where it has acquired many new clients and projects over the last 12 months. Its three newest CCVPs will work with some of the world’s biggest brands to build their sales and marketing capabilities and help drive customer-centred growth. Clients include Colgate, AB InBev, Brown-Forman, Pfizer, Bayer, and Energizer.

Brand Learning’s mission is to create more customer-centred organisations. It works to develop stronger growth-driving capabilities among sales and marketing teams, joining up the ‘end-to end’ customer agenda across the sales and marketing functions and ensuring they work more effectively together.

Mhairi McEwan, Group CEO and co-founder of Brand Learning, commented: “Brands want to be more customer-centred and that requires a different way of thinking and working. In particular, we’ve worked with organisations to help bring the traditionally siloed sales and marketing functions together and improve their capabilities so that they – and the entire business around them – can move forward with a customer-focused agenda that will drive sustainable growth.

"A key part of building capabilities is bringing in people who understand what sales and marketing teams face on a daily basis and can speak with the utmost authority. Maria, Jane and Bethany all possess decades of experience with brands and know how to get the best out of both people and organisations to deliver exceptional customer experiences."
